Have you ever seen a chart like this, that look at the 3 stages of matter, based on temperature and pressure?

The propensity for a crime to lend you arrested is proportional to its gravity, like higher temperature on the chart being proportional to water turning gaseous.

But then how wealthy you are is like pressure: it completely pushes the boiling (arresting) point away...

Idk if it's a good analogy, I'm tired

Its definitely a good analogy could probably do with some workshopping though.
